New Zealand on the ball now and running at the Samoa defense but, concede the penalty at the ruck due to not releasing the ball on the ground

Agreed, David.
That way they could try out few combinations and settle down too.

shake off the rust before The Lions eh David!

I really think they needed an extra game before the first test against the Lions though :-/

A few scrappy moments from the blacks but they’re getting better as the game goes by. They always have a bad first game though.

Samoa opt to go for the kick at goal from just inside the New Zealand half this time

👍🏼

Samoa running at the All Black defense and are awarded a penalty as the All Blacks not rolling away at the ruck

Thanks David

Samoa now with the line out feed on half way
